Approach to learning and assessment

The approach to learning and assessment for this program will include both supervised and non-supervised forms of training delivery.
Supervised training is teacher directed learning and assessment activities. Learning and assessment will use a range of methods including:

classes are delivered on Campus (City) that are designed to provide maximum class interaction, discussion and
development of ideas and skills

online classes for select theory based topics
specialist guest speakers to provide insights into current workplace practices
extensive online resources and support of both the content areas and the study skills to support
learning
both group and individual opportunities for learning and assessment
support for students to develop language, literacy and numeracy skills required to succeed in the
program
assessment that are designed to prepare you for work-ready performance and/or further study

The program will enable you to gain skills and knowledge that are directly applicable to workplace practices. Peer learning and networking will be fostered throughout the program through the use of an online learning system. Discussions and group work with other students will be a key part of your learning.

Assessment occurs in each unit of competency in the program and incorporates a range of methods to assess performance and the application of the required knowledge and skills. Assessment tasks will include:

role plays
demonstration of practical skills in a range of formats including simulations and workplace activities
case-studies
written reflections

presentations

You will also need to work independently, and this will include:

independent study activities such as research, reading, practical and/or theoretical practice tests or assessments

If you have a long-term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods.

national changes to this qualification, which include changes to some of the

PSP60916 Advanced Diploma of Interpreting (LOTE English), you will be eligible 

to graduate with PSP60916 Advanced Diploma of Interpreting (LOTE English).

support you to transfer to the new PSP60922 Advanced Diploma of
